The Powermatic 1285T ArmorGlide 12-inch parallelogram jointer with a straight-knife cutterhead and 230V single-phase power provides traditional cutting performance with modern table protection. ArmorGlide Technology creates a low-friction, rust-resistant surface that improves stock movement and extends table life. Driven by a 3 HP motor, the straight-knife cutterhead delivers reliable jointing performance for a wide range of materials. The parallelogram table design allows quick depth-of-cut changes while maintaining consistent alignment for accurate results. A center-mounted fence with rack-and-pinion adjustment offers smooth positioning and includes preset stops for 45-degree angles and a positive 90-degree stop. Heavy cast iron construction throughout the machine enhances stability and vibration control, making this jointer a dependable choice for professional shops that prefer straight-knife systems.

We reserve the right to determine the fastest and most cost-effective manner of transportation for all orders that qualify for free shipping. Our shipping carriers cannot deliver to PO box or U.S. military post office box addresses, such as APO and FPO, so we require a physical street address for delivery.

We must receive the item undamaged. We recommend you package it accordingly and purchase insurance for higher-priced items to ensure you receive the full refund minus any incurred fees as applicable. We reserve the right to refuse the return of accessories.
